    My HOA is forcing me to say goodbye to DISH

    As a former President of a HOA, I suggest you read the rules. Find the fine section. if they don't list fines then much can not be done. As an example if they say a $300 fine is coming for non removal, any court will state this is excessive. When you first had this installed did they grant...

    Tonights Twins / Yankees Game Blocked??

    As a D* subscriber I was unaware of this issue. I learned of it this morning on CH. 5. I had Charter as back with Triple Play because of Internet, TV and Phone. Well I dropped it to Internet. Charter is one of the many companies not carrying the game. A Twins Executive took a shot at that...

    OFFICIAL DISH / FOX ORDEAL DISCUSSION THREAD

    My parents have Dish and when our Local Fox goes so might he. We live south of Minneapolis too far to get OTA. I have Directv and have encourage him to go that route. As a former Dish subsriber they have way too many pulled channels over disputes. I had them during the Nick and MTV fiasco...

    OFFICIAL DISH / FOX ORDEAL DISCUSSION THREAD

    I am a Directv subscriber but can a Minneapolis paper had a Notice to Dish Subscribers that come October 1st they may lose FX, FSN North, Nat Geo. Losing FSN North in Minnesota would Suck. Twins, Wild, Wolves and Gophers Hockey are all on there. Hopefully this doesnt happen to Dish Subscribers.

    Never Thought It Would Come To This With Dish

    I suggested this route. I had to do this when I returned my equipment and they claimed it was never received. I had POD from UPS on tags they sent. I found out about getting charged when I attempted to use my check card and it was denied. Dish took it upon themselves to keep my bank account...

    DISH No FSN HD

    Yeah they are on there but try tuning them in if it is part of Gameplan and not in your market. It will be blacked out. Any game on Gameplan and you do not subscribe to it will be blacked out. Not sure where you live but try and tune in to Ark. St and Auburn on FSN So or Northwestern and...

    DISH No FSN HD

    If you like sports no one compares to Directv. I have Directv with ESPN Gameplan along with Sports Pack. If the game is on ESPN Gameplan and on a RSN in HD the feed is not blacked out. Today I get to watch my beloved Bulldogs play the Rajin Cajun via MSG HD.

    Netflix and the like to replace Sat/Cab?

    It has a buffer. The movie starts almost instantly. I have Directv and their On Demand starts the download and I can begin watching but its takes much longer than Netflix. I have a LG Blu-Ray player streaming my Netflix to my Vizio. I have Charter 16MB so HD streams with no Hiccups...

    What happened to DISH Family?

    I will bet on the contract it says packages and availability are subject to change without notice. I highly doubt Dish is that stupid to not have that language in there. To me if $9 more a month for pay tv is deal breaker you have many other issues to worry about financially and are better...

    MLB Channel on Dish????

    I am with Iceberg. They did the same thing as NFLST. However, they decided to allow others to match Directv contract. Every other provider joined in. I have both Charter and Directv which carry it. .

    Anyone been audited lately?

    This is one of the things I like about Directv. I don't have to have mine hooked up period. When I had Dish before the installer just told me to hook them up once a month. I never did and never got audited. But it does sound to me that it is an complete PITA. For future reference does a...

    Dish Does Not Care for my $130/m, Would Rather have $15 One Time

    I would push back hard on them. If they did tell you this then you shouldn't be charged end of story. Does matter if it is 50 cents or $100 the point is they told you NC.

    Dish Network Customer Service SUCKS!

    Any chance you have work orders of the removal or older photos of the pole? If so get them scanned in and email them to the CEO about your concern on the lack of returning of your install back to what is was. On a separate note why can this not be a Roof mount or siding mount? Sorry didn't...

    DO YOU THINK DISH WILL WORK OUT DEAL ON ESPN-U

    Why shoudn't you charge different providers different prices? Does Samsung charge Wal-mart and Best Buy for 42" LCD? The answer is no. It has to be based on potential of subscribers. Yes there is the claim E* had it listed in there contract that they will not be more. keep in mind this is...

    FIRST LOOK - ViP 922 Slingloaded DVR

    Nice review Scott. This would be nice if I had Dish but I have Directv. Directv really needs to take notes on what Dish is doing and get rolling on Future DVR's. Since I don't travel Sling is not a big deal for me. Having PIP would be nice.

    13 yr customer and they won't lease me another receiver (only have 2)

    This is one of two reasons I dumped Dish Network a few years ago. I wanted to upgrade my two DVR's when my contract expired. I was willing to pay for them and they said NO. I returned to Cable for a short time before going to Directv. as suggested above email the CEO and you will get a...

    Over 275 MLB games in HD. How many will E* show?

    It appears you need to decide which is more important. Having National HD's like Travel or watching your RSN/MLB Network or even ordering MLBEI.

    Any progress between MLB and E*?

    The MSG HD issue generally relates to NHLCI. As for MLB Network and MLBEI, if Dish picked it up I would considering switching from Direct. Although with the launch of D12 hopefully the missing HD channels residing on Dish will be added. I have subscribed to MLBEI three years now. The best...

    Dish recording on my dvr?

    When I had Dishnetwork promo happened about every other month. It has been numerous years since I was with Dish. When I was with them I had both a 501 and 510 DVR. I usually deleted them without watching them. It is unlike they adjusted your settings. Maybe by chance the reciever rebooted...

    HDNet Movies edited?

    I watch HDNet Movies frequently and don't recall ever seeing a movie edited. Most recently I watched A Few Good Men. Jacko tirade at the end would be a case for cutting because of language when played early in the evening. But given the Channel is similar to a premium it is unlikely.

    Bad experiences with blackouts?

    Who is your team aligned to your zip? It seems to me you need to start there. I thought all pro teams claim an area but maybe not. Buying the sports pack doesn't get you much. All pro sports are blacked out unless local. In my case I have Directv. I have the sports pack to catch college...

    Epix HD?

    I would reserve the judgment until everyone knows what comes from D12 launch. The hold music/news at Directv talks about addition of 135 National HD channels coming soon. Not sure how they can get that many given there cant be that many left to be had. However if you factor in what they are...

    VIP 922 RELEASE DATE!!!!!!

    Same can be said about you. I have seen the compressed HD that E puts out so they need the additional satellites.
